; NAME:
;  SCROLLWINDOW
;
; PURPOSE:
;
;  This procedure is more or less a drop-in replacement for the WINDOW
;  command. The main difference is that if the requested window size 
;  is larger then the current display size, the window is created in a 
;  base widget with scroll bars so the user can scroll around
;  the larger window. Use the WID keyword to pass in the window
;  index number of the window you want to create (a small change
;  from the WINDOW syntax). If the program can create a window with
;  this window index number, it will. Otherwise, this keyword will
;  return the window index number of the window that was actually
;  created.

;  I use ScrollWindow to create windows that I can view both on 
;  my large monitor at work and on my smaller laptop monitor when 
;  I travel.

;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;
;  ScrollWindow, xsize, ysize
;
; ARGUMENTS:
;
;  xsize:       The x size of the graphics window. By default, 640.
;
;  ysize:       The y size of the graphics window. By default, 512.
;
; KEYWORD PARAMETERS:
;
;  FREE:        Get a window with a free or unused window index number.
;               This is *always* done with a scrollable window. The window
;               index number of the window is returned in the WID keyword.
;
;  PIXMAP:      Set to create a pixmap window. In this case, no scrollable
;               window is possible. A normal IDL graphics window is
;               always created.
;
;  SIZEFRAC:    Make the window this fraction of the screen dimensions.
;               A number between 0.0 and 1.0
;  
;  TITLE:       The title string that is displayed on the window.
;
;  WID:         The window index number. If supplied as an IDL variable,
;               this can be both an input and an output keyword. If a
;               window with this window index number can be created, it
;               is. Otherwise, this varible upon exit from the program
;               contains the window index number of the graphics window
;               that was created.
;
;  XPOS:        The x offset of the upper-left corner of the window.
;
;  XSIZE:       The same as the xsize argument. Provided so ScrollWindow
;               can be a drop-in replacement for the Window command.
;
;  YPOS:        The y offset of the upper-left corner of the window.
;
;  YSIZE:       The same as the ysize argument. Provided so ScrollWindow
;               can be a drop-in replacement for the Window command.
;
;
;
; EXAMPLE:
;
;  ScrollWindow, XSIZE=800, YSIZE=400   ; Produces normal IDL graphics window.
;  ScrollWindow, XSIZE=1800, YSIZE=1200 ; Produces a scrollable graphics window.

; MODIFICATION HISTORY:
;
;  Written by: David W. Fanning, 25 March 2009
;  Added SIZEFRACTION keyword, Mats Löfdahl, 25 November 2012.
